Feb 14 (Reuters) – The Pentagon is considering ending its relationship with artificial intelligence company Anthropic over its insistence \u200con keeping some restrictions on how the U.S. military \u200cuses its models, Axios reported on Saturday, citing an administration official.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon is \u200bpushing four AI companies to let the military use their tools for “all lawful purposes,” including in areas of weapons development, intelligence collection and battlefield operations, but Anthropic has not agreed to those terms \u200cand the Pentagon is \u2060getting fed up after months of negotiations, according to the Axios report.<\/p>\n

The other companies included OpenAI, \u2060Google and xAI.<\/p>\n

An Anthropic spokesperson said the company had not discussed the use of its AI model Claude for specific operations with \u200bthe Pentagon. \u200bThe spokesperson said conversations with \u200bthe U.S. government so far \u200chad focused on a specific set of usage policy questions, including hard limits around fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, none of which related to current operations.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.<\/p>\n

Anthropic’s AI model Claude was \u200cused in the U.S. military’s operation \u200bto capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas \u200bMaduro, with Claude deployed \u200bvia Anthropic’s partnership with data firm Palantir, the \u200cWall Street Journal reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

Reuters \u200breported on Wednesday \u200bthat the Pentagon was pushing top AI companies including OpenAI and Anthropic to make their artificial intelligence tools available \u200bon classified networks \u200cwithout many of the standard restrictions that the companies apply \u200bto users.<\/p>\n
